If you encounter any "bugs" in the tool, please report them here in this thread.

Please provide some details as to how the error occures. It should be detailed enough to help someone be able to duplicate the error.

For example "I went to the search page, and entered chicken in the search box, then click on page 2, followed by selecting the last entry on the page, clicked "Add selected item to today's food", and clicked on the "go" button. That's when I got an error message that said "Selected date is not valid, please make sure you have entered the correct date".

The more details, the better

When entering my custom food, "Heinz One Carb Ketchup" There is only an option for it to be input in grams. I would like to input it as 1 Tablespoon.

Thanks,

Beth

You can enter tablespoon in the " Serving name", and then enter the weight of that serving size in grams, say 15 grams or 10, depending on the how much of that food item weighs as a tablespoon. This way you'll have a tablespoon serving available in recipes or daily logs.

Every time I try in input my measurements, my settings etc. I get a

I believe all fields are entered properly.

Beth

Nice catch. Give it another try, it should be fixed now.

It seems to be fixed now. I'm assuming the chart will fill in more with more than one day's numbers.

I guessed about 10 grams for the ketchup and it seemed to work. I had trouble finding my custom food at first but I got to it by poking around and then I added it to my favorites.

Americans are not used to grams but as long as there is a conversion chart somewhere that shouldn't be a problem though for smoothness you might want it to have different measuring options in the program.

Thanks,

Beth

We'll soon add a setting, to use either grams or ounces for the default servings.

But adding a conversion table for the common units sounds like a good idea to have as well

Wa'il

Yes. You can also add past measurements, if you have recorded them somewhere. Say from a year ago, etc. You can also add future figures, just to see a what-if scenario

Ok, I'm working on adding a new recipe. I have added the 2 main ingredients, and then I need to add 3 types of cheese. It allowed me to add edam and grated parm, but when I try to add cheddar, it just takes me back to the recipe screen, with the cheddar not there. I tried it several times, and same result. I thought maybe it was I had maxed out the allowable number of ingredients, which would be strange, but I was able to continue adding other ingredients. Just not cheddar.

One more thing.. there is no selection for regular mayonnaise. all this fat free, low fat, and other stuff. I tried the "salad dressing, mayonnaise type, regular, with salt", but that has 23.9g carb/100g. Wah.

This is not a bug We use the USDA's latest food database, and if they have it, we have it.

I found this entry:

P.S. I tested with the 3 cheese thing, and you're right. I'll look into it.

Nice bug It's now fixed, give it another try.

The custom entry problem has been fixe.

1. You have the option to create a new custom item, or edit the custom item.

2. It will direct you to your custom food list.

3. It will auto insert any new custom item into your fav list.

Netscape, version 7.0 - on the daily view screen, the entry box for serving amount is too small. It's cutting off the rightmost character by about a half a character or so; at both resolutions of 1280x1024 and 1024x768.

One other weird problem with netscape, the box above the "log out" where the journal button is, is not showing up correctly. The journal button is overlaying the word Welcome. This looks like it's happening accross the board, not just in the progress tracker. And I can't click on it to get to my journal.

I added a custom item for meatballs. The serving size is 6 meatballs, so that's what I entered for the serving size in the custom entry box. Now when I add it to today's foods, it shows up as "1 6 meatballs". So maybe, you'll need to let people enter the number, rather than default to 1. This happens to be a package of frozen meatballs, so I'm going by the nutrition info on the package when I enter it.
